Fees and Financial Aid

The GPEFM has so far been successful in channelling funds to all students in the PhD and almost all in the MRes. Decisions on financial aid are an integral part of the admission process. Funding may include:

Full or partial tuition grants

A number of teaching assistantships, which are offered to students with knowledge of the languages used in the undergraduate University courses: Catalan, Spanish and English.

A number of research assistantships connected with research being done at the Department.

Fees (Prices for the Academic Year 2020-2021)

The fee for visiting students is € 5.000 per quarter or € 2.000 per course

Please note that there is a charge of € 500 per term for visiting doctoral students who do not attend courses. The fee covers the use of an office and access to the IT facilities. The fee must be paid by the third week of term or facility access may be removed.

There are no fees for EDP Students.

DEE Research Budget

PhD Students have a yearly budget of 500€ to cover research expenses. This ammount is granted for presentations in conferences, and requires the approval of the PhD Direction for any other purpose.

Sudents should be aware that the possession of external financial aid is looked at very favourably by the Admissions Committee. It should also be understood that most forms of financial aid offered by the programme are not compatible with any other scholarships or grants. Moreover, admittted students are encouraged to continue to seek external sources of aid.
